it's a short book and you know the last thing in the world that a new entrepreneur wants to do is buy themselves a job so you make 80 grand a year now as a technical guy somewhere so now you open up your own tech company you're working 10 hours more per day right you got the burden of taxes and and now you're making 60 grand yeah if you're lucky so you bought yourself a job you know you had the same income without the liability before so that's what entrepreneurs really need to and and Emeth really it categorizes people into these buckets really well and I think it helps people identify if in fact they fit that entrepreneurial model or not

It was discussed as a guide to building financial, emotional, and physical resilience to handle life's challenges, particularly emphasizing the importance of strong relationships and communication during adversity.

"

the book is about is about how do you have good communication develop these skills where your present folks with your loved ones to have a really strong relationship so that when it gets tested you're in the best position to be successful

how do you stay focused on work say you can build up a business or work hard say you become such good employee that your work will be supportive if something happens to you and then finally how can you improve your fitness to a point where if you can't work out for months you're still okay

I also think that through that we recognize the importance of family right that the family support allowing my wife and I to go out for day nights during that time and like family becomes even more and more important to me and I think that anybody who doesn't at least worked try and create a relationship with their family should maybe try a little bit more because you never know those are the people that are going to have your back when it happens

and then finally I think the biggest thing that it taught us was that the world has a lot of different challenges for a lot of different people and I think at the time we think that whatever is happening in our days like the biggest problem in the world but I think we need to have a little bit more perspective that there's a lot of people going through much worse and we need to be grateful for what we have in focus on the positive things and not just the negative

I mean like I mentioned the book like the first night that it was diagnosed you know Ashley just said hey look you go tell the family this was going on but from this day forward like when people walk into the room it's gonna be nothing of positivity because we believe that positivity breaded positivity and we wanted that surrounding her

It was discussed as a book about building a hedge financially, emotionally, and physically, to be prepared for life's challenges, especially emphasizing the importance of strong relationships and communication.

And so I think that was one big takeaway from being in the hospital so much is that we had done a good job of developing this set when this news did come we able to focus on one thing and one thing only which was getting her better.

How do you stay focused on work say you can build up a business or work hard say you become such good employee that your work will be supportive if something happens to you and then finally how can you improve your fitness to a point where if you can't work out for months you're still okay.

I think the really the biggest takeaway there was a few takeaways from the whole so she went through treatment for two and a half years we spent months in hospital I see you name it right I think the major takeaways are because summarized like these two and a half years and like a few things is like is that you should do everything in your power today to build a hedge financially emotionally and physically so if something does take you out of your loop you're best prepared to attack it and that's what the book is about is about how do you have good communication develop these skills where your present folks with your loved ones to have a really strong relationship so that when it gets tested you're in the best position to be successful

If you want something bad enough you can control the direction of your life with decisions focus on the very next decision

I think that your words that to be backed up by action I'm a huge believer in this like if I want to do something like I'm just going to go out there and do it like we're sitting in this room I really want to put foam on the ceiling I just ordered it and did it like because I just think the problem with it is is that oftentimes you get caught in this trap there's always another thing you want to try and do but you never actually start anything and so for me when I was coming out of college I was looking at the business like if I wanted to do something I need to tell myself to go out there and do it

Molly's Game: The True Story of the 26-Year-Old Woman Behind the Most Exclusive, High-Stakes Underground Poker Game in the World

the name Molly's Game ended up not only being the code name of these high stakes tables, but also the title of her best-selling book and a feature film by Aaron Sorkin.

I really appreciated that about the book because I could tell that it wasn't fictionalized that at least not that much you anonymized people and things like that but the idea that you would walk into a store and have that sort of pretty woman experience where they're like ugh what do you want because you're like visibly more too poor to shop there I was like how I know that feeling

I'm a convicted felon I'm millions of dollars in debt my reputation is destroyed you know like I need a massive rebranding campaign

I'm gonna get Harper Collins to publish this book and I'm gonna get Aaron Sorkin to write a movie

I can't remember if I read this in the book or if it's just something I noticed but you were able to sort of disarm other women by taking the lead and showcasing humility or vulnerability in a very strategic way.

you're well practiced with this and I love the insight into the psychology of how this all worked and then of course later didn't work but at least how you ran this I think is fascinating because we're all about the practicals here and it's great that you can take kind of a no pun intended sober look at this past and go here's what I did right and here's what I did wrong.

the book title is Molly's Game I told you this was a crazy story I thought that she did a great job super smart obviously really candid and not trying to front that's what I appreciate about Molly Bloom especially just she could easily sugarcoat this whole thing.

"

The Art of Tough is her book fearlessly facing politics and life

when I sat down to write the book you know your memoirs which by the way I hope everyone will do it doesn't matter how old you are you have a story to tell and you have many stories to tell

which is called The Art of Tough

when I was researching you and prepping for the show was you you do recall your mother's advice all the time

The Art of Tough fearlessly facing politics and life

Episode: 75: Barbara Boxer | The Thrill of the Fight Back

It was discussed that Barbara Boxer wrote her memoir, which details her life experiences and worldview, including her childhood, the fight for equal rights, and her experiences in politics.

"

when I sat down to write the book you know your memoirs which by the way I hope everyone will do it doesn't matter how old you are you have a story to tell and you have many stories to tell you know I realized that of course given my age I had lived through so many unbelievable times you know the World War II the Holocaust the 50s the fight for equal rights by African Americans then for women the environment and on and on and all those things which are baked into my my worldview and how I saw I saw life and I always had this sense of outrage inside me

it was interesting that you probe that because I always said if I lose that I'm just going to stop doing you know my work which I'm still doing by the way even though I'm not in the Senate I still have the outrage I I pour it out on my podcast and my guests help me deal with it

I got up to give somebody a seat in the bus in Florida in Miami in 1950 and the somebody happened to be African American woman and she gave me a look as if what are you doing getting me a trouble and she marched the back and my mother again not educated just had the best heart in the world and the best values she said honey don't offer her your seat I said well why not you always taught me when I saw someone older so she must have been you know 50 and I was 10 she said this is Florida and this is the south and there's segregation what what does that mean well that they say black people have to go to the back of the bus and I was so upset and she said do you want to go to the back of the bus I said yes and so we did and we stood and my mother rubbed my neck which is what she did when she saw it was concerned and I looked at the woman and she kind of looked away and look that's how you learn your values and how proud I was in later years when I sat down to write the book about my mother who really took a chance in a way because you know my father was the educated one she had worked so that he could go to college and then he went to law school but she had the values you know

I think I discussed it in my book how if you look at Abe Lincoln if you look at Richard Nixon if you look at all the men who went to very high levels they lost maybe twice three times four times and it didn't impact their confidence in being able to try again but that women took it personally and the reason I mention it is you know when you do these podcasts like you do when you give people thoughts and ideas about how to incorporate these ideas in their lives you make a difference

I saw what they did to black people on the bus and to Jackie Robinson I saw what they did to me a woman all I wanted to do was help the company get customers right yeah so you know when you see all that you know when you see the oil spills that happen in the dead birds when you see you know kids being mistreated all of that adds up to passion I would hope in most of us and to me it led me then to pivot

And all those things which are baked into my my worldview and how I saw I saw life and I always had this sense of outrage inside me

it was interesting that you probe that because I always said if I lose that I'm just going to stop doing you know my work

which I'm still doing by the way even though I'm not in the Senate I still have the outrage I I pour it out on my podcast and my guests help me deal with it
